Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Has there come to you the narration of the overwhelming (i.e. the Day of Resurrection); 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 laboring, wornout, 3 Scorched by burning fire, 4 The while they are given, to drink, of a boiling hot spring, 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 Many a face will be in serenity on that day. 8 With their endeavour well pleased. 9 In a lofty garden, 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 There is a stream of running water in it; 12 [and] there will be thrones [of happiness] raised high, 13 and goblets laid out, 14 and cushions arrayed in rows, 15 And rich carpets spread. 16 Have they not looked at how the camel is created, 17 And the heaven, how it is reared aloft, 18 and how the mountains were firmly fixed? 19 And the earth, how it is spread? 20 (Muhammad), preach; you are only a preacher. 21 You are not a warden over them, 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will punish them with the greatest punishment. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 In Our hands are their accounts. 26
